This little piggy went to market.

Not quite the Hillerman formula, but done well just the same. All our old friends are in this story, and it looks like everything can be wrapped up if Hillerman decided it would be his last. However, it looks like at least one more novel, probably two. In this novel, we get to be in the heads of the good guys and bad guys from the start as they banter around. An ex-CIA spy with knowledge of the oil industry is sent to find out information on how oil companies bypass paying royalty money to the First Nations Trust Fund. He ends up committing suicide with a bullet in the back. Meanwhile, down south, Bernie, now with the U.S. Customs Service, gets lost, goes off the map, and puts her foot in it. Bernie’s co-worker gets suspicious and tells Joe. Jim gets out some snaps; Joe gets out his maps; Bourbonette gets out the coffee and brains. They hold a committee to figure out what is happening. Will Bernie smell what she stepped in, or just walk right into her demise? Will the cavalry arrive over the hill in time (does not look promising) Who or what is the “Sinister Pig?”
